For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run! https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Is_Wine_malware-compatible.3F [https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Is_Wine_malware-compatible.3F]

You really don’t think Linux has viruses? I’m confused by this post. Is it an excuse to shit on wine and windows?
They’re super rare. I’ve not gotten one once in decades, whereas I’ve encountered countless viruses on Windows. Linux is more secure, but also it’s just a smaller target. Best way to avoid viruses is to use an OS nobody else wants to use *taps head

I think you have a false sense of security with regards to Linux vulnerabilities and exploitations. There are dozen of known exploits throughout the Linux ecosystem that are publicly disclosed frequently.

What makes you think Linux is more secure than windows? I’m not trying to start an argument here I’m just curious.

Not sure what their answer is but not delaying security fixes until some fixed monthly date would be my answer.

To be fair if it’s scored high enough there are usually workarounds posted and supported to hold you over for patch Tuesday.

I’ve done patch management on both platforms and find the predictability easier to manage. But that’s not home use so grain of salt stuff.

To be fair, critical security patches for Windows are often delivered out of band (not on patch Tuesday). And malware definitions for Defender are daily.

Not trying to defend Microsoft entirely, but not everything is delayed until their monthly update schedule.
